Thanks on the molding clips Bob, the 2 forward rocker metal clips you sent are rough but cleaned up ok and will work but I haven't quit looking for new ones. (still need door glass wear items).

Here are some more pics with yellow, schedule is to paint the rest of the car in the morning, I should have it home early next week, then the giant assembly puzzle will begin!

Nudder.....And in case you are wondering why the deck lid and trunk are removed....The body guy wanted to paint them flat on stands but will be dusting some paint on the bolts after bolting them on and adjusting them so they all look factory adjusted, etc.

Awesome paint Scott. It looks like they nailed the color! It has that greenish hint in there.
You have a PM.

Thanks Dave, I'll make that call, yes the color looks weird in pics but it appears to be spot on

Looks awsome Scott! After working on other peoples parts, it must be nice to do something for yourself.

Yes it's a fun deal doing one for myself, it's been a long time coming for sure.

I can tell you one thing, this deal isn't cheap! A thousand bucks every time I turn around! Seat covers, upholstry shop labor, misc. machine shop labor, suspension parts, clutch, presure plate, flywheel, tires, center caps, seat belts, weather stripping, carpeting, head liner, door panels, cat wiskers, bumper rechroming, brake work, drive shaft, center section, leaf spring kits, lug nuts, etc, etc, etc.!

Thats looking good!!!!

How long has it been since you restored a car for yourself? Its gonna be awesome when its finished!

On the spending $ part. If its any consolation, eventually you'll just start spending $100 here and there instead of a $1000...

I've done a lot of work on other peoples cars over the years but the last car I did restoration work on for myself was my 67 Hemi Belvedere, it's been a LOOOONG time! What's nice about working on my own stuff is that rather than being stressful, it's relaxing. I only have to please myself, not the same deal when doing work for a customer.
